- The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $133,700 Project Grant under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) on July 17, 2024. The funding supports a research project that will explore incorporating a Many Objective Robust Decision Making (MORDM) analytical approach into Reclamation's midterm (2-5 year) operational projections for the Colorado River system. This approach aims to provide more robust and nuanced insights into...
- This $382,843.68 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation through the CFDA 15.557 Applied Science Grants program. The grant will enable Utah State University, in partnership with multiple Utah state agencies, to enhance an existing platform from a 2-year timescale to multi-year-to-decadal timescale forecasting tools for the Colorado River water supply. The project aims to provide a future perspective on persistent drought threats and support...
- The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $2,257,000 WaterSMART Project Grant to the Uintah Water Conservancy District in Uintah County, Utah. The grant, awarded on April 16, 2025, will fund the reconstruction of an existing diversion structure, the piping of an open channel canal, and the installation of flow meters along an existing pipeline. These infrastructure upgrades are expected to result in annual water savings of 2,563 acre-feet that would have otherwise...
- The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) received a $502,766 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). This funding will support research and development activities focused on water resource conservation, efficiency, and management, with a particular emphasis on reducing costs, energy requirements, and environmental impacts of water treatment and related...
- The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $370,230.65 Cooperative Agreement to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) on March 28, 2024 under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The goal of this 18-month project is to develop and validate the feasibility of pilot-scale electrochemical stripping technology to selectively remove and recover high purity ammonia from reverse osmosis concentrate generated by wastewater reuse. The project will also...
- The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $274,145.41 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Utah Geological Survey (UGS), a division of the Utah Department of Natural Resources. The purpose of this 2-year award is to integrate two existing soil water balance models with Google Earth Engine (GEE) to improve water budget estimates in several Utah valleys and the Great Salt Lake watershed. This integration will allow for rapid and updatable calculations of...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $499,681.45, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The project aims to quantify and project the water budget across the Contiguous United States (CONUS) using a hierarchical modeling framework. Key objectives include: Quantifying water budget components by leveraging hydrological experiments, applying machine learning algorithms to inform soil properties, and employing...
- The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has awarded a $82,224,260 Project Grant to the Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWCD) under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504). The purpose of this grant is to support planning, design, and construction activities for a regional water reuse system that will integrate potable and secondary irrigation water supplies to help meet the growing water demand in Washington County, Utah. Key project tasks include...
- The Bureau of Reclamation has awarded a $1,500,000 Cooperative Agreement under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program to the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District in Layton, Utah. The purpose of this award is to provide support for a project to generate renewable energy and increase water efficiency by determining the feasibility of constructing solar panels over 1,400 feet of the Layton Canal. If the cost-benefit analysis proves positive, the recipient will move...
The Bureau of Reclamation has awarded a $158,827.49 Project Grant to Utah State University (USU) under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program. This federal grant supports innovative research and development projects focused on water resource conservation, efficiency, and management across the western United States. The award, effective October 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030, will fund USU's research activities designed to reduce costs, energy requirements, and environmental impacts associated with water treatment, desalination, and water resource management in the Colorado River Basin. The research aims to provide data and insights to inform water management decisions that directly impact the general public, state governments, and water use organizations in the region.
